List of sculptures in the National Statuary Hall Collection

The National Statuary Hall Collection holds statues donated by each of the United States, depicting notable persons in the histories of the respective states. Displayed in the National Statuary Hall and other parts of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., the collection includes two statues from each state, plus one from the District of Columbia, plus Rosa Parks, making a total of 102.

By act of Congress, which commissioned the statue in 2005, Rosa Parks is also there, though not representing a state. The year was 2013, the centenary of her birth. Hers is the only statue in the Hall not linked with a state, and the first full-length statue of an African American in the Capitol.[1] Later that year (on Juneteenth, 2013), by act of Congress (P.L. 112-174), a statue of Frederick Douglass was added as a choice of the District of Columbia.[2]

Sculptures intended for the collection

Several states and the District of Columbia have authorized or are in the process of authorizing statues with the intent of donating them to the National Statuary Hall Collection. The second statue from D.C. would require a change in law to be placed in the collection, as the 2012 compromise legislation that led to the placement of the district's Frederick Douglass statue only granted the district a single statue.[8] Statues being created on behalf of states are subject to the 2000 legislation providing for the replacement of existing statues, since all states have already placed both of their allotted statues.[9]
